As per the thread title, I’m trying to get the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to work on my 2007 model A3 using my VCDS cable.
I’m not installing a reset button on the dash (too much hassle) and instead want to reset it using VCDS.
I have enabled the system in the ABS module and the TPMS light comes up on the dash and goes out as soon as the car is started , so far , so good.
What I cannot do so far though is actually reset the system using VCDS ; I have a drop-down box saying to reset the TPMS system but when I go to section 042 to reset the values the ‘Go!’ button is just greyed out?
Is it just a case of allowing the car to do enough miles to remember the initial values before it will allow them to be reset?
I’ve read around and apparently it takes quite a bit of driving for the car to ‘learn’ what the rotational speeds etc are and as I’ve only driven around 10 miles since enabling the TPMS am just wondering if I can’t reset the values as there currently aren’t any values memorised to be reset???
Or is there another coding step that I’ve missed?
All the guides say that once the ABS module is programmed it should work?
Thanks!
